Things to know:
Relax: If you have never been on TV before, people (even celebrities) can get nervous. We aren't live and have plenty of time. The show is edited so we can go back over questions and answers at anytime.
Don't Script: While we want you to rehearse, don't script your answers. Let it be natural and flow. During the interview, other questions may arise naturally then what we went over with you during your pre-interview.
Dress: We typically recommend business to business casual. Think of the national viewership and how you want to be seen. Dress comfortable. Please keep in mind that you will be sitting under bright lighting. While the lighting isn't hot like in the past and we try to keep the temperature of the studio comfortable, please don't wear clothes that will make you to hot or cold. You should arrive ready to go, however, there is an area for you to change.
Hair / Make up: Hair and Makeup is not included but is available for an additional charge, typically paid directly to the hair/makeup artist(s). Please give advance notice should you require this. Please note that should you decide the services are not required, the fee may not be refundable depending on notice and scheduling.
Guests: You may bring guests with you, however, they may need to wait in the green room (lounge) where they can watch on a TV screen
Photography: You may take all the pictures you would like prior and after your interview.
